Summary: Meeting 2:
In this part of the book, Oskar's grandfather wrote letters to his unborn baby, who is Oskar’s father. The letters explain why his grandfather left his grandmother. It all goes back to when Dresden, Germany got bombed and his beloved Anna died. His heart has and always will belong to her. Another event that happened was Oscar’s performance in Hamlet, in the beginning there were many people that came to support him, including the “Blacks” from New York and each day less and less showed up but on the very last night his grandmother came, which really meant a lot to him.

Some characteristics might be braveness, curiosity and optimistic.
